This book reminds me of the Secret Circle (tv series, haven;t read the books and not planning to) and that makes me sad because I want the Secret Circle to come back! Why'd you cancel it, CW? It was Awesome. I turned on the tv every Thursday night in time for the Vampire Diaries, but I was only watching TVD so I could watch TSC!!!! D:
Yeah, that being said, this actually is VERY similar to TSC. I liked it, tho, despite the similarity, it was original. Instead of there being six withces, there were only three, and there was a big conspiraccy, and ther parents were involved in said conspiracy, but not in the same way. also, no witch hunters, but Nick is totally Jake, and that's even weirder, bcuz in TSC Jake has a brother named Nick, and I was obviously feeling a lot of TSC nostalgia while reading this book, can you tell?
and, Oh, my god, Reese! I cried.
yeah, there's a lot of crows here, as in TSC, if you remember. my nostalgia for TSCs tarted with the cover, becuase the birds on the cover of this book reminded me of the birds in the TSC theme (I can't call it a full song, cuz it wasn't, but if you watched TSC, you know what I;m talking about about the birds)
there was more blood in this one than in TSC. 
okay, let's not keep up pretenses, this whole review is just me missing TSC.
this book had a good cliffhanger, though, so I'll be reading the next one.
Bring TSC back to life!!!

At the beginning, this book was just a normal teen witch book. But by the end blood takes on a whole new meaning and it becomes a horror story (which I love). So creepy and delicate! Tessa Gratton's writing is super good as well! Definitely going to be reading blood keeper!

I had seen this online for while so I contacted Tessa and she got in touch with DoubleDay and they kindly gave me a ARC to review. I am so glad I contacted them because this really one the best book of the 2011.

 Blood Magic is about a teenage girl Silla is trying to come to terms with the horrific incident of her parents death. Nick has just moved to town where Silla stays he too has a tragic past that he hiding from the world. Together the both are thrown together over a spellbook that mysteriously turns up at Silla's home and together the try to unravel the events that took Silla's parents. However there is always a price to pay and what will their cost be?

 There isn't too many characters in this novel. We have our two main characters, Silla and Nick, as well as a secondary cast of characters that really make this story intriguing and there is going to be a character everyone will like and of course hate. Silla is one of those characters who even though I couldn't imagine what she was going through I still felt connected to her. She is just so likable. She is hurting from the lose of her parents yet she is still getting on with her life and trying to life it. Nick really is a charming young man and its easy to see why Silla falls for him. He is harbouring some chilling secrets from his past that are unraveled as the story goes. 


 The story itself for this book is fantastic! Seriously its awesome! Its fast paced and full of suspense with a few twists and turns when revealing the baddy that I honestly didn't see coming. I thought I knew who the baddy was but Tessa suprise and left me in shock because I thought I had figured it and well I had no clue lol.

 Blood Magic is one of those stories you simply can't put down no matter how hard you try. Between the cast and the enchanting and dark storyline Blood Magic is going to be massive hit. Tessa has managed to create such a dark tale for YA novel. She doesn't skip over any details and this I love it and some part even I was getting squeemish as I am not a big fan of blood. 


 I beg you READ THIS!. If you like your stories dark and enticing then this is the book for you. You will be gripped from page one. However, if you aren't a fan of blood then please approach with caution lol but don't let it put you off this story is amazing I just wanted to warn you.

 Also due to some of the contain in this novel I feel its not suitable for younger readers
